The Pro and The Noob

This has been bothering me for quite some time and I need some info on the subject matter. What is the diffrence between the noob who takes advantage of the game and the pro who is skillful and has masterd his craft. What are the noob things to not do and to look out for. What is more pro like what takes skill. I want to be the very best at this game and I would like to shy away from "noobish" things and lean towards actually using skill to win fights. Today I was caught defending my flag all by my lonesome due to a shortage of man power. It was 3 enemys vs 1 guy in front a flag. My teammate was somewhere doing something as I battled for my life. I thought ok all i have to do is hold them off for as long as possible. I could have sat their and dodged spammed them in circles like they have done me but I fought. I took the worst beating imaginable but I still held them off. By the time they grabbed the flag time was ticking out so it didnt matter. My point is did I beat them because of skill or because they are just noobs. I cant tell the diffrence.

Re: The Pro and The Noob

There's nothing wrong with using the dodging mechanics as they are now. I'm sure the devs will try to balance things, but while they are the way they are, there's no reason to limit yourself. Beside that, you can be grappled while you are dodging. If 3 people couldn't manage to get a grapple on you while you dodge over and over then they deserve to lose that precious time.

So play the way that helps your team win.

I fully agree. Howeveer, if you abuse the dodge, do not think for a second that you won because of skill. That is what we clall noobish playing. Grapple does not always work, and this fact is made worse during lag. A perfect example is this. I was just in a match where this person had the hammer, and was dodge spamming. I time it properly, and right when he dodged, I started pressing R1 like crazy, but nothing happeded, then he hammered me to death. The grapple mechanics in this game have led to more deaths for me trynig to grapple, then actual grapple hits.

I dont think there is a problem with dodging at all. I think the noobish stuff is being thirsty AF for a kill doing anything and everything you can to win. Abusing magic, constantly escaping, grabbing any weapon or magic close by. Being scared to fight is the noobish thing to do. On the other hand, if you are fighting like 4 guys, I dont think there really is a coward way out. Everything goes when things are unfair for you.

I understnad dodge spamming when outnumbered, but ppl do this even in 1 on 1 battles. This is when the dodge issues become apparent. If the range for grapples get expanded by a lot, and you could grapple while walking, then it would be great. The i-frames are also abusive. I have seen enemies dodge a launchers afterr my attack hits because they were spamming dodges with i-frames. It is extremely easy to win a fight by dodge spamming. I don't understand why ppl do not recognize this.
